I’ve been struggling with a reaction of some kind with my lips for 6 days now. My lips had tiny clear bumps that burned, then my lips peeled and burned, and now have been pretty raw for a couple days. I keep waking up with swollen lips(kind of Angelina Jolie like) and the swelling goes down to not that noticeable as the day goes on. I’ve had this issue for 3 years or so and sometimes my eyes swell up too! 😫 Can’t figure out if it’s weird allergies or something to do with my chronic illness.

So, I haven’t been able to wear lipstick or anything else besides Carmex which has been helping to soothe my burning lips. I tried allergy medicine and that’s helped with the itching sensation but nothing else. It’s very frustrating to have symptoms that you don’t know where they’re coming from or how to fix it. However! I’m smiling. I felt pretty and I felt like capturing this moment. Life is full of moments and I’m working on capturing the good ones even if they’re few and far between. I want to be more positive and process my emotions in a healthier way. I always have something to be grateful and thankful for. This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it! God is with me, how can I fall? Sometimes you just have to encourage yourself.

IT’S SELF LOVE MONDAY!! 💜”You may feel like a nobody to some people but to God you are a somebody. You matter. You possess incredible worth and value. You are fearfully and wonderfully made!”💜

When the burdens of life seem to keep holding you down, look to God because he is where your help comes from. He can pull you out of the dark pit you feel you’re stuck in. Trust and believe. It’s so hard sometimes, to do those two things, but God will take those burdens from you! He will lift you up and cause you to shine. Don’t let negative people or thoughts tell you that you cannot be the best version of yourself. You are a somebody. You have something to offer the world. You do make a difference. You are loved. You are important. You are incredible. You are fearfully, wonderfully, and beautifully made! Love yourself a little more, today.
